Costume design

In our video, the main character of the piece will definitely wear a fur coat at some point.



A fur coat was suggested when we first came up with the final idea. The thinking behind this is that, since fur coats are a rare sighting, it would play on the unorthodox nature of our video. This, in turn, makes our video a far more interesting and unconventional piece, catering to the funk genre.

We always briefly discussed the idea of wearing multiple layers, serving as another mechanism that will aid in dwelling on the uncustomary themes running throughout the piece.  

Our plan is to have our main character wear lots of clothing all at once. This would be funny and ridiculous, which is a common theme in many funk videos.
By the end of our video, the main character will be seen wearing a lot of clothes. These clothes will be whatever we can find and so, are too random to find examples to post. We looked at the scene in Friends where Joey annoys Chandler by wearing his clothes but without pants or boxers. Here, he is seen to be covered in layers of multicoloured clothes, wearing many t-shirts, joggers, shorts and ties. The clothes we use will also vary in size, much like what Joey is wearing, as they are clearly not all one size.


This picture of the same character is another example of what our main character may end up looking like. This picture is closer to what the actual final result may look like as the first pictures clearly show a costume that has been designed, whereas this picture looks closer to what it would look like to actually be wearing six sweaters.

Since there is only one character in our production, and they are going to be wearing a multitude of random clothing, it is difficult to find sufficient examples.
